Why attend a DBS?

What is the DBS?
The DBS is a 12-week intensive residential Bible School in which you will live together with staff and students and learn to go deeper in the Old and New Testaments.
Structure of the school
- During the 12 weeks of this course, you will receive teaching on all the books of the Bible and read through them in small groups.
- In our school you will learn how to read the Bible in context and study it for yourself.
- You will also learn how to lead others in small group Bible studies so you can bring the understanding of the Bible into your own environment.
Practical application
- You will read the Bible focused on the redemptive plan of God, His character and nature as well as Biblical principles, all of which will help you to know God better, understand His heart and apply the knowledge of the Scriptures to your own life.
